Description
This small digital alarm clock gathers the time, the date, the day and the temperature into one tidy blue case with a soft matt finish. The case is plastic, a neat rectangle with rounded corners, and the large black figures on the pale screen are easy to read at a glance. Beside the time, smaller panels give the month and date, the day of the week and the temperature in degrees Celsius, so one look answers the questions most of us ask first thing in the morning. It stands 4.4cm tall, with 8.6cm along its longest side and 2.6cm at its slimmest, small enough to slip into a washbag or the side pocket of a weekend bag.
We see it first as a travel clock: a simple alarm for hotel rooms, weekends away and early starts, light on space in a case and quick to set wherever you unpack. At home it earns its place on a bedside table, a desk or a bookshelf, and the cheerful blue sits happily beside white bedding, grey walls and pale wood. Because it shows the temperature too, it is handy in a spare room or a home office where you like to keep an eye on how warm the room is.
It runs on two AAA batteries, which sit under a cover on the back marked open. Above that cover, four buttons marked mode, set, up and down handle the settings, and a long snooze and light bar runs along the top, easy for a sleepy hand to find in the dark when you want a few more minutes or a quick look at the hour. The matt plastic needs nothing more than a wipe with a soft dry cloth now and then. Set the time before you wrap it, and it makes a practical little present that earns its keep at home and away.
